March 16, 2008, 8:49 a.m."Based on historical records and other evidence, the rate at which the glaciers are melting is also thought to be faster that at any time in the past 5,000 years" but the actual monitoring has been just the last 30 years. A lot of speculation! How about this: A thousand (give or take)years ago Vikings liven in Greenland and raised wheat and cattle. How's come this area is now covered with ice if everything is melting?

March 16, 2008, 3:43 p.m.Hey Libs, well put. So plain and true why is it people can't see the damn forest through the trees. Hillary is a socialist and Obama is well we are not really sure yet, he is certainly anti American or anti capitalism. They all talk about getting rid of the special interest groups but who is funding their campaigns. I give up, all I want to do is mind my own business and enjoy life but with Obama and Hillary on the way you can bet your tax rate will be well over 50%, how do you enjoy life then.

March 16, 2008, 6:57 p.m.The real irony is that conservatism starts with the word conserve. Many of the supporters of our current administration are in no way conservative, just as our current administration is not conservative.
I think to label them as neo-cons is wrong. Non-cons would be better.

March 16, 2008, 11:33 p.m.Can everyone PLEASE stop talking about expanding and retreating Glaciers? Some are retreating some are expanding, everyone knows that! Does it prove anything? It proves that climates are changing. Does that mean there is man made global warming? NO! Does that mean that the climate changes are not man made? Absolutely not.
To sum it up, talk about glaciers doesn't solve the argument of man made climate change the slightest bit.

March 17, 2008, 12:27 a.m.I don't even care. The Bible tells what is going to happen so we are all going to try to blow each other away before Global Warming REALLY affects us. I will worry about that if I happen to be a survivor of armageddon!

March 17, 2008, 8:45 a.m.It sure looks from here like George W. Bush will rise to the level of absolute worst President in the history of the USA.
One of his earliest acts was scuttling the Kyoto Protocol, thereby ensuring 8 years of virtually worldwide stay the course toward disaster.
And with the US economy going into absolute meltdown, we're stuck in GWB's pointless war in Iraq. It's made us less safe, given Bin Laden time to regroup, and eaten up a half trillion dollars in direct cost plus 3 trillion in long-term commitments (veterans care, equipment wear and tear, etc.)

March 17, 2008, 9:29 a.m.Has anyone considered that cosmic events are the culprit. We are approaching a significant cosmic event that may well cause an extinction level event in 2012. The earth and sun will align directly with the center of the galaxy's black hole. The gravitational forces may well have catastrophic affects on the planet. The poles may well shift drastically. We puny humans will be able to do absolutely nothing to avert such a disastrous event. Considering the "time" in cosmic terms; 4 years is an instant. Could it be that we are experiencing some initial affects of that alignment?
Megalomaniacs like Gore and Blair and others are crazy to believe humans could have effected cosmic events.
Get Real!

March 17, 2008, 10:09 a.m.Top psychiatrist concludes liberals clinically nuts
Eminent psychiatrist makes case ideology is mental disorder
WASHINGTON รข;; Just when liberals thought it was safe to start identifying themselves as such, an acclaimed, veteran psychiatrist is making the case that the ideology motivating them is actually a mental disorder.
"Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded," says Dr. Lyle Rossiter, author of the new book, "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness." "Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave."

March 17, 2008, 12:40 p.m.And yet this winter has the highest amount of ice and snow on the Northern hemisphere since records have been kept: http://www.nationalpost.com/most_popular/story....
In fact, this winter has averaged as codler than the average for all of the 20th century. New Ice age? Probably not, but maybe there sin't as much warming as the Chicken Littles of the world would like to squawk about.

March 17, 2008, 2:06 p.m.From the book, "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness":
"Modern liberalism's irrationality can only be understood as the product of psychopathology. So extravagant are the patterns of thinking, emoting, behaving and relating that characterize the liberal mind that its relentless protests and demands become understandable only as disorders of the psyche." The Liberal Mind reveals the madness of the modern liberal for what it is: a massive transference neurosis acted out in the world's political arenas, with devastating effects on the institutions of liberty."
This is all true, but we can't let Liberals know. They'll demand to be treated for this psychiatric condition, then demand that the government (i.e. us taxpayers) pay for it.
